Women of Tropical Africa
This book is unique in its approach in that each chapter covers women in their everyday lives and the problems, which concern them. Until now, ethnographic research has almost always been carried out with the help of the male population and as a result the picture that has emerged has been largely the image, which the men, and the men alone, have of their society. Originally published in 1963.
De la science et des rêves
« Connaître les mécanismes et les fonctions du rêve : tel fut le but d’une longue recherche. C’est l’histoire que je raconte dans ces Mémoires. Comment le hasard, ou ce qu’on appelle maintenant la “sérendipité”, m’a permis quelques découvertes fécondes. Mais aussi comment je me suis égaré ou trompé plusieurs fois. J’ai essayé de raconter les aventures d’une vie de chercheur, parfois assombrie par des impasses ou des échecs, mais plus souvent encore riche de découvertes imprévues, de rencontres d’individus extraordinaires et parsemée de voyages, de péripéties – sans oublier la souterraine présence de ce qu’on appelle l’inconscient, qui parfois veut bien surnager sur l’océan agité d’une conscience égarée devant l’inconnu. » M. J. Michel Jouvet est membre de l’Académie des sciences. Il a reçu la médaille d’or du CNRS.

Women in Chains
2000CHOICEOutstanding Academic Title Using writers such as Harriet Wilson, Frances E. W. Harper, Pauline Hopkins, Toni Morrison, Sherley Anne Williams, and Gayl Jones, the author highlights recurring themes and the various responses of black women writers to the issues of race and gender. Time and again these writers link slavery with motherhood—their depictions of black womanhood are tied to the effects of slavery and represented through the black mother. Patton shows that both the image others have of black women as well as black women's own self image is framed and influenced by the history of slavery. This history would have us believe that female slaves were mere breeders and not mothers. However, Patton uses the mother figure as a tool to create an intriguing interdisciplinary literary analysis.
Celans Kreidestern
Erst vierzig Jahre nach seinem Tod offenbart Brigitta Eisenreich die Geschichte ihrer Liebe, die sie zehn Jahre mit dem Dichter Paul Celan verband. Die Beziehung beginnt 1952, kurz nachdem Celan Gisèle de Lestrange geheiratet hat, und ist eine seiner längsten und zugleich verborgensten. Heimlich besucht er Brigitta, die beiden lesen zusammen, diskutieren und manchmal gönnen sie sich einfach ein gutes Essen. Bei ihr findet Celan, der im Alltag Französisch spricht, die Sprache seiner Mutter wieder. Sprach- und Liebesakt werden eins.

The Future of African Customary Law
